Jake learned how to frown a couple of weeks ago - now instead of his big happy smile, he greets people with a frown first.
Jake's communication is getting pretty good. He uses sign language for "milk" and "more". And we understand him when he says ball or car, and his favorite lately -- pump pump (pumpkin). He's also really good at saying "cooka" and requests cookies without even seeing any. Megan used to call them cookas too. He actually began calling me mama in the past month or so. Before that, everytime we'd say "mama" to him, he'd say "dada" back. Megan would laugh and laugh and then it became a game to him and he used that every time to get a reaction out of us.
On Sunday, Megan, Jake and I went for a walk in our neighborhood. Megan was pushing her baby in the stroller and Jake was pushing his teddy bear in the shopping cart. He almost made it around the entire block before he requested to be picked up. He was also wearing his baseball cap - which he took a liking to that day. It was kind of windy out, so he kept checking his hat to make sure it wasn't coming off. It was pretty funny. I have some video of that and if I ever learn how to post video footage, I'll put it up here. Don't hold your breath.
